'One Life Will Soon Be Past' — Leonard Ravenhill

The Eternal Value of What Is Done for God

The poet wrote this, only one life will soon be passed, only what's done for God will last, and when I am dying how glad I shall be if the lamp of my life has been burned out for thee. You think all Christians die happy?

Regret Over Misused Time

Not on your life. They die as miserable sinners, some of them. Why? Because I've misused my time and I've misused... Lord, if you'll only spare me to do this. Some of you prayed that on a hospital bed.

Unfulfilled Promises Made in Crisis

Some of you women, when you thought you were dying, giving birth to a child, said, Lord, if you spare my life, I'll do this and that. Have you done it? The only thing that will tie me in victory continually through the blood of Christ is my personal devotion to Him, the Son of God.

My adoration that I give Him my tribute every day. It's more than my service. It's more than giving my money. That I love Him and I adore Him and I magnify Him. I take Him, as it were, by the feet.
